  • itsMISUTA Misuta (@itsMISUTA) reported

    I can't use my PC right now because it has a weird problem and I'm still looking for a solution. I want to play Overwatch because there is a Double EXP event but I can't. 😭

  • sillyIink venie (@sillyIink) reported

    nah i'm going back to fire emblem they need to fix overwatch asap

  • cumnm3 Cybes (@cumnm3) reported

    Need more overwatch friends this climbing shits broken asf

  • the_nightmar3 Name (@the_nightmar3) reported

    @SirDimetrious Role que like in overwatch. 2 titans, 2 warlocks, 2 hunters. Tired of 6 of the most broken subclasses every game.

  • Skell_374 Skell374 (@Skell_374) reported

    @SkaVorah @OverwatchCaval @OhReallyJared This has become a waiting for the Overwatch team to fix the game simulator since launch.

  • ianaIonso_ ian 🐡 (@ianaIonso_) reported

    @BlizzardCS They should fix the play of the game in @Overwatch lol

  • cherrylolo_ Cherry Lolo | Gamer & Artist (@cherrylolo_) reported

    @Respawn If you did the same with broken legends, that would be great. Like Overwatch did. People won't die if they can't play a beloved legend for a few days. Like the no hit regs wraith had a few seasons ago. In situations like that, this would be much appreciated

  • PatrynHS Patryn (@PatrynHS) reported

    @RemcoGB @badajimpom They def are to blame, but I wouldn't get angry about it. We saw this coming a mile away. Same goes for Overwatch, and I'm quite sure Diablo IV will be the same. Oh wait, WC3 Reforged. It is systematic. This isn't a Hearthstone issue, or HSesports issue. Its higherups at Blizz.

  • GamerBallsZ Eldian Devil (@GamerBallsZ) reported

    Just saying, if you don’t want me to leave overwatch 2 matches, fix your matchmaking process. I miss Jeff 😔

  • Euntar2 Euntar (@Euntar2) reported

    @pampurins I honestly never complained about overwatch 1, it was so good imo. Yes there were problems with the game, but I never cared, I enjoyed the game. Overwatch 2 got boring so quickly, and I know barely anyone agrees with me, but I just wish they leave ow1 servers open with ow2

  • strawbearyzz bee 💗 @ needs a new computer (@strawbearyzz) reported

    The lag in overwatch is god awful

  • nsbunited nsbunited (@nsbunited) reported

    @JustinGroot3 In my most recent YouTube video where I explained one glitch for every hero in overwatch, I mentioned that the devs are working hard, and a bunch of comments laughed at me for saying it... We should definitely be looking at company executives if we feel the need to place blame!

  • BalliDnali Nail (@BalliDnali) reported

    @Zod1acDreams @ascinhiding No the problem is that every game suddenly needs one. I think certain games do it well but they are all usually cash grabs. They got rid of overwatch loot boxes which could be unlocked freely, and they aren’t executed well often. The only good battle I’ve seen is sea of thieves.

  • shayminskies shaymin (@shayminskies) reported

    @vexwerewolf I feel like Overwatch’s story sort of tries to twist the race allegory (omnics = minorities) it demonstrates into a weird lib-centrist point of view, like “we’re literally genociding this minority group, but now that they’re trying to fight back, THEY’RE the issue and bad guys”

  • Naeveo3 Naeveo (@Naeveo3) reported

    @2WayIntrsctn @xaviersonline It’s not about flair it’s about gameplay. The problems with Overwatch are more complicated than one-shots. It’s the same reason why role-lock, 5v5, or removing stuns didn’t make the game better. There’s a far more complicated issue going on that’s causing Overwatch to fail.

  • wookiecookiee wookiecookie (@wookiecookiee) reported

    Unistalling overwatch 2 Intel the devs fix the broken matchmaking system with more and such #Overwatch2

  • FernandoFerna20 Fernando Fernandez (@FernandoFerna20) reported

    want to accept. Getting hooked hasn't been an issue for years. Reworks for overwatch as a whole haven't been good 80% of the time. I've yet to enjoy hanzo,torb as heroes because their reworks took away their identity. Shell of themselves etc. Nerfing roadhog only means that-

  • HeavyartilleryN Heavyartillery (@HeavyartilleryN) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @Blizzard_Ent why every time I hop on overwatch it says “you have been removed from voice chat if this problem persist” etcCmon man I’m not toxic at all I only tell people to keep talking all that trash after they looseI just wanna play with my bro with a my mic

  • drlybeloved mars ♡ (@drlybeloved) reported

    man i got some problems, it's almost 5am i said "okay i'll go to sleep now" an opened overwatch

  • RpgCrow RpgCrow (@RpgCrow) reported

    @TWTHEREDDRAGON As a fan of halo infinite Making it a games as a service idk it was an early sign of this happening. Should of made it a xbox series x exclusive with a proper price tag. Overwatch 2 can possible face this same issue

  • AnarchyBurger_ Munchy (@AnarchyBurger_) reported

    @TheFlanFromDBD The same people saying it’s transphobic don’t have an issue playing games like Minecraft or Overwatch

  • bambiibebii Bambi ✩࿐ (@bambiibebii) reported

    Overwatch ranked system is so broken wtf :’)

  • SpiritRascal Spirit: King of aired 👑 (@SpiritRascal) reported

    @cxcx0fficial @cheeselain_ @ascinhiding “Definitely not in call of duty” You definitely ain’t played black ops 3, or don’t remember it at the very least Overwatch has other problems, but tbh if the battle pass gave currency back like fortnite or COD then it would be significantly better. That’s blizzard being stupid

  • ReJtabe JTabe:RE (@ReJtabe) reported

    @cheeselain_ @ascinhiding forsure the only problem is when they make the battle pass the only reasonable way of getting cosmetics for example overwatch. in ow 1 i could consistently get skins no money spent and i spent a week playing ow2 over the holidays and didn’t get a single thing maybe a spray

  • Arcubelle ☆ Arcubaby ☆ (@Arcubelle) reported

    Well that sucks my off brand controller I bought off Amazon is unusable except when playing genshin and my ps4 controller is broken. I'm going to buy a ps5 so pointless to buy a new one. Guess I'll have to ditch overwatch for a month.I wanted to finish my season in all gold 😭

  • CH4R10T_TV 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮-𝓔𝔂𝓮𝓼 𝓦𝓱𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓓𝓲𝓬𝓴𝓰𝓲𝓻𝓵 (@CH4R10T_TV) reported

    This might be the line. This might be a point of no return for competitive Overwatch. The ladder queue being broken and poorly made by any industry standard is one thing; that's fixable. This might not be. We'll see.

  • shqniq shania (@shqniq) reported

    my game lags so bad when i play overwatch how do i fix it

  • Vlad_Dobychin Apologiser (@Vlad_Dobychin) reported

    @PlayOverwatch Oh my god, Blizzard, you are so cringe. Is Overwatch a skin market or a competitive game? Either fix it or shut it down.

  • wangtangtyler tyler (@wangtangtyler) reported

    this is not a drill. just got asked by a GIRL to play overwatch w her. this could be an issue. how do i not have a mental breakdown, and not use slurs while purposefully putting myself thru pain? excited nonetheless. keep you all posted

  • gaowy_ jess ღ (@gaowy_) reported

    overwatch and league are stupid broken right now. whereas i shoot and kill people in fortnite. the end. i get random guns and fun quirks in the game. plus the battle pass is one of the fairest there is out there compared to many other popular games like the other 2 mentioned
